Essential Gaming: Top 15 Original Soundtracks of the Generation

The website videogamewriters.com recently posted the top 15 video game soundtracks. Two titles from Epic Games made it to the list. They decided to list only original soundtracks, not ones created as compilations. Gears of War by Kevin Riepl comes in as number twelve on the list.

Jen Bosier says, ” It’s easy to forget how revolutionary Gears was when it first released, with every aspect of the game feeling like a grand experiment. This extends to Riepl’s soundtrack which effortlessly blends strong, militaristic themes with foreboding sounds typically reserved for horror offerings.”

At number seven is The Bulletstorm Soundtrack by Michael Cielecki and Krzysztof Wierzynkiewicz. “Cielecki’s mix of chorals and brass plays as a homage to epic action set pieces and thrilling, tense adventures. There isn’t a weak track on the album and chances are you’ll find yourself remembering your favorite skill shots.”

NyLeve’s Legacy Map for Legacy UT

Epic Gamer Lord_PorkSword from the Epic Games forums has made another beautiful map for his Unreal Tournament 3 Legacy mod. In NyLeve’s Legacy, we revisit NyLeve Falls with it’s lush vegetation and beautiful scenery.

Lord Porksword says, “This map stays somewhat true to the original layout with a few changes to accommodate the multiplayer gametypes! While the single player variant will come at a later date, this Multiplayer release is to finally show my re-visualization publicly so you can play against fellow players or bots! I know some folk have been waiting a year for this so I’m happy to finally let you play it!” You can read more release notes HERE on the Epic forums or on the Unreal Old Friends forum.

Behind the Music of Blockbuster Video Games

Kevin Riepl ( pronounced ‘ripple’ ) was born in Cliffwood Beach, a little town in central New Jersey. His initial interest in music began at the age of six, when he began to play piano and guitar under the instruction of his uncle, an accomplished guitar and piano player in his own right.

His music has enhanced the visual mediums of television, films and, most notably, video games. Fans of the the Unreal series by Epic Games have been familiar with his work since 2002.
